The Stuff I Didn't Get To -- 12/11/07

Book title: Cooking with Pooh
Probably better than it sounds


-Doesn't really sound that yummy-
Every day, I sit here writing the roundup, every day I think, "what the hell was that I was going to write about?" and every day I can't remember.

Until today. Disney's put out a book who's title belies the subtitle. Subtitled, "Yummy Tummy Cookie Cutter Treats," the title doesn't make it seem very yummy for your tummy -- Cooking With Pooh.

Seriously.

Bonus fun. Amazon tells us that "Customers who searched for 'cooking with pooh' also expressed interest in:" The Complete Idiot's Guide to Psychic Awareness, Second Edition, The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America: A Guide to Field Identification, and, of course, the title that explains it all -- Cooking with Alcohol. Amazon's weird sometimes... (Amazon.com)

-Headline of the day-
"Shoplifter caught with beer in pants." Not loose, in a can. David Edward Benbow was arrested at Bargain Booze -- I swear that's the name -- in Shotton, Wales. According to the report, "Magistrates said there was a glimmer of hope that he might turn his life around and gave him a three-month prison sentence suspended for 12 months."

That seems unlikely. The report describes Benbow as a "shoplifting junkie with 71 previous convictions." Seems to me that the "one more chance" ship should've sailed a while ago. (Daily Post)

-Bonus HotD-
"Poll Finds G.O.P. Field isn't Touching Voters." Make up your own Larry Craig joke. (NYT)
